Not many aspiring Re- publican statesmen in the 6th care to follow a forelorn hope, always, but Bro, Atkeson {s a willin’ Barkis, and like the old gentleman in the story that Dan Stratten delights to tell of, who had never let a campaign go by without being a candidate, and always with the same result. A son who had arrived at the age to take notice, suggested to his father that {nasmuch as he had not made much of a showing he ought to fore- go the running that time. The old gentleman indignantly responded, “My son, you don’t understand politics, It isa great honor to bea candidate and who hnows but some time I might be elected.” On that theory Atkeson ought to keep on running, as those things have been known to happen right here at home under his own observation. Now news comes from Kansas City that Attorney General Herbert Had- ley {s serlously considering a part- nership proposition from eminent lawyers of New York which insures him at least twenty thousand dol- lara a year. If the report {s true that such an offer has been made General Hadley, he will sure accept, as what Republican office holder ever fatled to turn prominence given by the peo- ple into profit, when occasion offer- ed. But the effect of such a move would be heart rending to the Re- publican party of the state. Hadley {a admittedly the only Republican who would have a ghost of a chance so be elected governor and a blast: {ng of their hopes thus early in the game would be a great shock to them. Their hopes would be doomed to disappointment in the end any- way, tor while Hadiey is admitedly their strongest man, when Demo- crate line up all along the line, as they will in Missourl next time, there will be an old time Democratic vic- tory. Mrs. Robert W. Hardin. Mrs. Robert W. Hardin died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Preston Argenbright, in Butler, at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning. On last Thurs- day, August 8th, Mrs. Hardin gave birth to a little daughter; complica- tions arose which resulted fatally. The baby still survives. Funeral services were held from the M. E Church South, on Wednesday after- ‘noon, conducted by Rev. Earl Orear, who was visiting in the city, and in- Bertha Argenbright wae born near Altona April 11th, 1881. She was married to Robt. W. Hardin Oct. 11, 1906, and went with him to Vicke- burg, Mies., where they have since resided. They returned to Butler in June to spend the summer so that Mrs. Hardin could be with her moth- ver and alsters during the severe ordeal att:uding motherhood. She was abright, lovable girl, possessed of thany noble qualities, and had many friends in Butler and Bates county. The afflicted family have the sym- pathy of all. Notice to Teachers.

Finally most of the negroes fled from town and order was restored. pears that in getting into his buggy his foot caught in some way between the axle and the bed, and the horse ran about halfa mile, dragging him the entire distance and stopping ata gate. Walter ran to the assistance of his father, and when he reached him, he was unconscious and from appearances badly hurt. He was taken back home, and Dr. Hopkins, of Springer, was at once summoned, reaching there a few minutes after ten o’clock, Mr. Concklin dying about five minutes afterwards, havinglived over five hours in an unconscious state. The body was terribly bruised about the left side and head, and it {e supposed that the dragging so great a distance ruptured a blood vessel in his head, which caused his death. Mr. Concklin came to this county a few years ago from Butler, Bates county, Missouri, living since with his son, Walter, near Colmor. He was & most excellent man, industri- ous, honest and a true friend. His untimely death {fs a sad shock to this county, where he was so highly re- epected. The funeral services were held yes- terday afternoon at the Methodist church in this city and interment made {n the Springer cemetery. Deceased was 68 years of age, born in Marion, Ohio. He leaves two children to mourn his loss, Walter Concklin, of Colmor, and Mrs. Harriet Cook, of Kansas City, Missouri; besides two sisters and 4 brother in Ohio anda brother in Missouri. New Depot for Butler. The local committee, appointed to visit St. Louls and lay before Vice President Clark Butler’s needs for a new depot, was courteously received by that railroad official on last Thursday morning. Thematter was discussed in detail and Mr. Clark assured the committee that it would be taken up at once and a depot bullé during the fiscal year, begin- ning July 30th, 1907, if suffictent funds for that purpose were availa- ble otherwise they would build it juat as soon as it could be reached. Mr. Clark said that it was his intention to butld Butler a depot that would be a pride to hor citizens and acredit to the company. This {s the first time the matter of building a depot at Butler had ever been brought to the proper head of thedepartment in a business way, and that offictal showed great interest and expressed a determination to spect Butler’s re- quirements at the~earllest possible period.
